If additional or specialized medical care is needed, especially after regular physician
hours, students will be referred to the Cleveland Clinic Wooster. All such medical
care received outside the Longbrake Student Wellness Center is the financial responsibility
of the student.

In an emergency, the student will be referred to the Wooster Community Hospital Emergency
Department. This will be the student's financial responsibility.

Student Medical Records

Individual Health Records are maintained for all students. Student records are kept
for seven years after the student leaves The College of Wooster, and then are destroyed.

All medical records are kept strictly confidential, and are not released to anyone
without the student's permission. Requesting a copy of any part of your medical records
requires written permission and a processing fee.

The Wellness Center staff does not write medical excuse notes to professors. With
the student's permission, however, we will confirm an illness to a professor.

Confidentiality

The Longbrake Student Wellness Center maintains strict confidentiality, in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio.

Students may grant permission for their illness/injury to be discussed with parents,
professors, etc., on an illness by illness basis. However, students who are below
the age of 18 do not need to grant permission to allow parents to speak with the staff.

Notification

The Longbrake Student Wellness Center does not routinely notify parents or professors
of illness. This is the student's responsibility.

If a professor requires verification of illness/injury, he or she may call 330-263-2319
and information will be shared with the student's permission. The Wellness Center
does not issue written excuses.

When students are hospitalized with serious conditions, parents/guardians will be
notified by the admitting physician. Dean's staff will also be notified and professors
will be made aware of the hospitalization.

Statement Regarding Ebola

Like many organizations in Northeast Ohio and around the country, The College of Wooster
is closely monitoring news regarding the spread of the Ebola virus. We do not currently
have students studying abroad in, or recently returned from, the areas covered by
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s travel advisory – Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone – and the health care worker who was diagnosed after returning to Dallas from
Cleveland earlier this week had been visiting family in Tallmadge, Ohio, more than
40 miles from Wooster.

The trained medical professionals who staff our Student Wellness Center, as well as
our Security and Protective Services personnel, have established procedures and resources
in place, including a negative pressure room, to contain an instance of viral infection.
Reminders about those procedures are being shared with our students, along with guidelines (.pdf) for prevention, assessment, and intervention if needed. We also are in on-going
contact with the Cleveland Clinic and the Wayne County Department of Health.

We will continue to monitor and rely on guidance from the Ohio Department of Health
and the CDC. Please contact the Wellness Center at 330-263-2319 if you have concerns.
